Common Nate W To be honest

If only they would've used more formal language and called him by his surname I would've actually believed this one, lol. Almost got me though.

Is it bad that I'm still in school and yet relate to this a lot?

I'm a bartender so there is a certain level of insanity and shitiness to the job that is like some of the wagecuckery but the money is also pretty decent and I get to eat for free and drink on the job (within reason). I do however have crazy stories about throwing out crazy homeless people, breaking up barfights, kicking a man out the front door who refused to leave after I cut him off (and subsequently knocking him out from how hard I kicked him), pounding down the bathroom door because a homelss guy was smoking crack in it, almost getting into a fistfight with a cross dressing schizophrenic homeless guy who threatened to cut my head off and skull fuck me because I wouldn't buy him a pizza, and probably many other retarded stories I can't recall. It's an exhausting job but it does yield itself to some stories

This feels like something that would be posted on one of those liminal space subreddits

This says more about wagecuckery than anything could. These guys grew up with nothing, living in absolute poverty, then went to war... and they miss it, they prefer it to living as a wagecuck.

I wish the government hadn't prioritized capital over the worker. Its the worker that makes sure that everything gets done. What happens when people are at their wits end and unable to afford basic things to live? The problem with the inflationary wages is that inflation evaporates the value of your labor, something that should never happen in a rational world. Your wages should never lower because theres more stuff, or more money going around. Its still the same labor. Capital tries to scrape every single last cent out of workers but the game cant carry on forever. AI is the last hope of keeping some status quo. What happens when people's job start getting automated away? They still have things they need but no longer have an income to get those things.

This actually isn't so bad. Less chance of a worker spitting in my food, and less opportunity for them to get my order wrong. Ideally all menial labor should be automated away.

Gross.

That's not even a pizza. That's a microwavable "pizza in a bag" type deal.

I would feel insulted being given one of these any day, let alone my birthday.

There is hope.

Working for yourself is essentially immune to inflation, as you can simply increase the cost of your services. As long as you're mainly contracting for corporations (who largely benefit from inflation), rather than individuals, they should be able to afford to pay your higher fees especially given that higher prices are an expectation under inflation.

The way I see it, a lot of people are essentially coasting. They got their 9-5, they don't like it, but they don't hate it enough to actively look for something better, or to consider the risk of starting their own business worth it. As things get worse and worse for them, hopefully this lights a fire under enough asses that we start to see more and more people getting fed up, leaving, and starting their own businesses, which should essentially collapse the monolithic business market.

Of course, the question is "if they can barely afford to live, how can they afford to start a company?". There's a few good answer to this. Firstly, there are plenty of businesses that can be started with no capital (I started my software business with $200 to my name) because the product is selling a skill/labor rather than a product (which is still different to being an employee because you retain control of your rates and working conditions), and secondly, the idea that people are "too poor to live" is somewhat of a myth. People have no money left AFTER they buy their Netflix subscriptions, fast food deliveries, and luxury items. People who have a set goal, who save specifically for it, generally do fine, even with a terrible-paying job, as long as they aren't living above their means. America especially, when you look at the statistics, is spending more and more per year on luxuries and convenience, while complaining that there's no money. It's baffling to me how an entire country can be so delusional.

People identified it as a Chicago Town pizza. I've had one before, literally bottom of the barrel frozen pizza, he should have felt insulted.

I worked over the summer as a "gardener".

My job was primarily to guard an empty field with another person and call the police if a homeless person ever trespassed on the property. It was utterly maddening.

Back when I did it in year 10 it was for $0 a day.

$5 is ludicrous, Australian schools need to stop this scam slavery campaign
